Duckypaddler: Is the offer still good for a trip sometime when your schedule permits?

Yeah for sure. Things have been pretty hectic lately and just as things were settling down my wife's grandfather died. I'm actually fishing today, but let my wife decide when and if I went this week, and didn't know till yesterday I was even going today. We may be able to get away next weekend, and I'm gonna try and camp at Smokemont with our TU chapter the next weekend after that.
